Your post makes no sense.

Latest US numbers are higher for both countries.

Putin just can’t stop losing:

Korean made K2 tanks and K9 self-propelled howitzers as far as the eye can see in Poland. I remind you that the contract was signed less than a year ago.

US propaganda. Hard to know what the numbers really are, but it’s obvious that both sides have been hit. And I’m pretty sure Ukraine has gotten the worse of it.

The truth doesn’t care what nationality any one is. The truth is the same for everyone but not everyone can see the truth because of bias. Your bias is showing.
